Trust me - avoid. I used to run track and play tennis is school. They used to produce a great shoe. Last two pairs I bought from them were pure crap. I voiced my displeasure via their website. They ignored me.

just a question.....but why did you buy a third pair from them if the first two was pure crap...

Bought 2 pairs. First pair was low priced so I assumed maybe that was the issue. Last pair was 80 dollars and still crap.

10 years?? Are you actually running in them. Most true running shoes only designed to last for about 600 miles

I was a serious athlete in school and I know good and bad shoes. Just some good shoe advice for anyone who cares to listen. Old NB shoes would last for years.

i've been fortunate enough to work in a casual work environment for the last 4 years after 20 years of coat tie and dress shoes, and i absolutely love new balance. most comfortable i've ever worn, but i buy 4 or 5 pairs a year and rotate them.

I just bought two pairs of New Balance hiking shoes with casino comps. I will keep everyone posted on the results, as well as other sports betting industry news.

Your smacked NB is one of the only shoes that still to this day have the same great quality they did back when they began. Nike shoes are garbage compared to previous models and styles from 2002-2003. Anything after that shoes were produced with bad quality. How do I know? I used to be a shoe enthusiast.

If you mention payment methods at Books, the Mods edit your thread to hell in minutes. On the other hand, you can start an improper thread for this forum, and it goes untouched for days. Good job guys and gal.
